PURE food and fun

Friday’s dinner deserves it’s own post. I don’t think there are words nearly adequate enough to describe the night I had.  Not only was the company delightful, but the meal – OMG – I could go on about it for hours (which I did, much to Kyle’s delight).  Just looking at the pictures now, I am having flashbacks with a Pavlovian type response. Drool! I met up with the one and only Miss VeggieGirl on Friday night too excited for words…her pimpa$$ hotel was within walking distance of PURE so we ended up only moderately… Read more >

You are what you eat

Welcome to the HHH fridge (if you can even call it that)…I don’t care what they say ladies, size DOES matter 😉 Now you can see exactly how pathetic NYC living is, and why I am forced to go grocery shopping on a (nearly) daily basis. The door holds next to nothing.  So we can only have small cartons of milk.  Hence the frequent rotation in my non-milk beverages.  Most of the condiments are actually Kyle’s (along with the eggs, etc.)  Some key condiments are the Nasoya “mayo,” peanut butter, Country Bob’s All Purpose sauce,… Read more >

Maui highlights

I know it looks fake, but, unlike the NJ housewives, this is ALL REAL.  Why would anyone leave such a place!? Me and my sis (she’s not strangling me, we are just channeling our inner family Von Trapp)…sadly, this is the most normal of the 25 million dozen photos my Mom managed to get out of us.  My Dad sporting his “I’m the Boss” pin that he got for Father’s Day…and just in case you’re wondering, yes, that IS a fanny pack.  No, we weren’t going on a hike…that’s just his general “around the apartment”… Read more >

Hawaiian Hiking

Since I got a question on my last post about this, and I feel like it’s a topic people are interested in, I will recap my answer. Q: Any advice on how to squeeze in exercise while on vacay?  Those darn hotels make you pay (a lot!) extra to use their gyms. A: Unfortunately it’s usually the really nice (read: really $$) hotels that give you free gym access, so unless you wanna shell out the big bucks, there are a few simple tricks you can use. 1)  All hotels have staircases, so if you… Read more >

Pack that a$$ up

I think my carry-on bag weighed more than I do. Allow me to explain (with photos): Bar-ville, USA. No such thing as over-packing when you’re flying from the east coast to the middle of the pacific ocean…right? But then, after piling my bag with dried fruit, clifs & laras, I freaked out and worried I didn’t have enough food so then I added more. And then more. Of course, I STILL ended up buying tons more at LAX because I’m so type A, I think there’s no such thing as being TOO prepared…but I’ll get… Read more >
